Choreography most definitely! I mean I love the show, but there isn't any realy choreography outside of jumping, stopping, and hand motions...

Ditto. I mean, come on, the book and choreography are not good.

I am a firm believer in serendipity- all the random pieces coming together in one wonderful moment, when suddenly you see what their purpose was all along.

Umm, anyone that has seen GREY GARDENS knows that it deserved the Best Book prize, it just baffles me that it lost that award. Well, it certainly didn't deserve Best Score over GREY GARDENS either but at least I saw that one coming.

Completely agree that it should not have won for book or choreography.

I love SA but legally blonde should have won for best choreography and Grey Gardens should have won best book.

Legally Blonde should've taken choreography, and Grey Gardens should have taken book.

love the show to death but choregraphy was a joke...and Bill jones' creepy factor is only surpassed by Stephen Sater's.

It's another case of the TONY voters getting jaded.

SA will probably sweep.

Jerry Mitchell's choreography in LB is brilliant, he should have won.

The book thing for me is because, as others have pointed out, the "book" for SA was basically given to them with the play. It wasn't created from nothingness.

Grey Gardens should have won for book and most especially score. Does anyone know how I can contact the brilliant Korie and Frankel? I would like to write a letter of encouragement. I'm sure they already know they're great, but I'm sure they'd like to hear from a fan.
